Thanks for the help with this! I will see if I can trigger another decision scene through Akavii... gonna have to raise her affection up. To clarify: Risha has not left permanently (I don't think that can happen), she just will not accept courting gifts, or more precisely, giving her a courting gift does not raise her affection anymore. I am worried that the decision conversation I had made a permanent change in her status, but I guess I will have to see if moving farther along Akavii's romance arc can trigger another decision scene. Also, thanks for the tip about the ESC key conversation back out... I did not know about it (unfortunately). And NO my cat is not for sale

Ok, so this may be a bit of spoiler for those who are not to far in the romance arc: My Smuggler is a Sharpshooter Gunslinger. For most of the game I have used Risha. Our combined DPS was enough to burn down almost anything. I didn't like her at first, but after a while, she started to grow on me. My character and her almost had like a Mickey and Mallory wandering outlaws vibe going on. Spoiler... Fast forward to a conversation where Risha and Akavii make me choose. I was totally gonna pick my outlaw princess, but at the moment, my cat (named Lestat) who was curled in my lap, decided to stretch one of his paws out. He hit the Akavii choice, and Risha stormed off saying "I can't believe I kissed you you jerk!" Now she won't accept courting gifts... Am I hosed? Can I re-initate a romance with her by continuing to raise her affection? Honestly, this whole experience makes me kind of hate my (level 50, almost full battle master) character. How could he be so heartless? Dumping his love like that... Maybe there is some way to fix things with her? Any help would be appreciated.

I agree. It should be pretty easy for Bioware to add a gear color unify button for companions. I even tried equipping my companions gear, unifying it on myself, than un-equipping to give it back to them, but once the gear comes off, the colors revert back to normal.
